Faculty Travel Guidelines
John Jay College supports the professional development of faculty via conferences and workshops and encourages faculty members to present at these events. At the discretion of department chairs, travel funds may also be used for travel related to research.
All faculty members must apply for approval from their Department Chairs before travel.
These webpages contain guidelines, policies, and procedures for reimbursing faculty travel in the US and abroad. This includes support materials travelers must submit, travel reimbursement vouchers, and links to forms and checklists.
Department Chairs have the discretion to fund some or all of your trip. The approved amount will be noted on the signed TAF emailed to you.
